Bali - Watukaru aka Batukaru Temple

Luhur Watukaru temple or Pura Batukaru is one of the biggest Hindu Temples in Bali (Sad Kahyangan) with Catur Lokapala Temple and Padmabhuwana Temple status. It is set in the plateau area with lush tropical rain forest surround it. It is situated in the peaceful area which is far from the local resident that is ideally for worship. There are some temple building spread out through the tranquility of rain forest and the big mountain of Batukaru as a back drop. 

Watukaru or Batukaru Temple is located at Wangaya Gede countryside, Penebel District and Tabanan regency, and west part of Bali Island. It is located right on the foot of Mount Batukaru and about 1.30 hours from Denpasar Airport.

This is the entrance.

Beautiful and clean garden.

Rest here for a while. The weather was really hot.

You can use the stairs to climb up the tower.

Enjoying the beautiful place with so many trees and flowers.


You should go to this place if you go to Bali. Beautiful environment with great architecture!
